Violent burglars need to be taken off streets - Sinn Féin councillor

Sinn Féin
councillor Mary Ellen Campbell said those responsible for a violent burglary in
North Belfast need to be apprehended as soon as possible.

The North
Belfast Sinn Féin councillor said:

“This
aggravated burglary was a terrible ordeal for the family to go through and our
thoughts are with the victims. Anyone with any information, no matter how
small, needs to come forward as soon as possible.

“The whole
community will be deeply alarmed at hearing of this incident and the reported
level of violence involved. I’m urging residents to take all sensible measures
to secure your homes and help reduce the chance of becoming a victim of such
despicable crimes.

“Thankfully incidents like this are rare and people shouldn’t be living
in fear. However, clearly those responsible must be apprehended as soon as
possible and held to account for this attack. Sinn Féin will be meeting the
PSNI as a matter of urgency on this issue.”
